Default Itching and burning! FOR SCIENCE!
Weeeell, after watching Mythbusters for ideas on a science project I've got due in a short time, I saw their experiment on home remedies for skunk spray and decided to try something more locally useful: An experiment on home remedies for poison oak/poison ivy. A lot of different people have told me various things that should help such as pouring vodka on the affected area area, using rubbing alcohol, simply dipping the affected area in water, or using dish soap to clean the affected area. Do any of you know any other home remedies to this (or even similar common ailments) that I could test? I'm going to give my self one hell of a rash! FOR SCIENCE!

Well a quick look on wiki tells me that the chemical that causes these irritations, urushiol, is imiscible with water, so I'm guessing unless you are quick at washing it off the skin, it will probably soak into your pores very quickly and be unnafected by the water. However alcohol apparantly mixes with the urushiol quite well, which likely breaks it down/turns it into some other solution, which would be better at preventing irritation.

So really your best bet is alcohol, of any kind. Maybe you can try various brands in an attempt to find out which works best and which is best from an economical standpoint.

No point using the families best brandy if budwieser works just as well eh?

I second and third the motion to wrap yourself haphazardly in peanut butter and duct tape, soak yourself in vodka, and then crash through the woods. (Video > Picture)

Default We're fucking crazy here in the Ozarks
Here's a Ozark folk remedy for Poison Ivy:
Quote:
The Bud of a Sumac Tree if taken while it is still green can be boiled into a tea, but you have to remove the white broth that forms on top because that part is still poisonous. This will keep you from being allergic to poison ivy, but it needs to be repeated annually when the sumac bud is green.
And then there's whiskey.
Quote:
You can cure anything in the Ozarks with whiskey, but of course, as with all medicines there are side effects.
So this means that Irish Tea made with Sumac will make you immortal.
